Chapter 107: New Quest and New Story
The lunchtime business quickly came to an end, and Qi Han silently closed the door after seeing off the three employees leaving the Small Shop.
"System, how is the progress of Main Quest 5?"
[Main Quest 5: Spread Your Fame
Make 95% of the original residents in Shrek City aware of the existence of your restaurant.
Quest Description: It's time to use your superb culinary skills to conquer a city!
Quest Reward: Random Recipe Drop x 3, Random 3 Dish Recipe x 1, Spirit Power level +5
Quest Progress: 67/95]
Already at 67%?
Qi Han was suddenly startled.
I remember when I just came back from the Kalei Forest, the progress of Main Quest 5 was only 35%.
In just a short time, it's almost doubled?
[Due to the sensation caused by the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb phenomenon, and the takeout business spreading the reputation of the Small Shop, the restaurant's popularity is currently skyrocketing.]
Skyrocketing.
Qi Han's heart jumped, "System, are you saying that I can complete Main Quest 5 soon?"
[Not exactly. With the current rate of the restaurant's popularity growth, it is expected to reach around 85% within five days. However, when the popularity reaches around 85%, it will enter another bottleneck period, and the rate of Small Shop's popularity growth will further decline.]
Qi Han pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "So, system, can you predict when I will complete the Quest?"
[Based on the current state, barring any special circumstances, it is estimated to take about a month to complete the Quest.]
Still, it will take another month?
Qi Han couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
By now, Qi Han has already completed all tasks except for Main Quest 5, and all rewards have been claimed. Except for four 2 Star optional recipe fragments, almost all system rewards have been used up.
"System, are there no Side Quests or Time-Limited Quests?"
[New Side Quests need to wait until after Main Quest 6 is unlocked, and the release conditions for Time-Limited Quest vary. Please try them on your own.]
"So, in other words, forget about Side Quests, and Time-Limited Quests are left to luck?"
[Although that's not exactly what the system means, the host is not wrong.]
The man sighed.
It seems that completing any task in a short time is not an option. The only plan for now is to patiently wait for the completion of Main Quest 5.
With a thought, Qi Han entered the carving training space.
Coincidentally, there are no new recipes to learn in the next month, so there is enough time to practice carving.
In reality, one month, which is equivalent to 1,800 days in the training space, excluding business and sleep time, amounts to almost a thousand days, approaching three years. Let's see how much progress can be made in carving during this time.
A month passes quickly or slowly, depending on how you perceive it.
Since Qi Han arrived in Shrek City, it's been only about a month, but many things have happened.
It feels like a long time has passed, yet, as Small Shop entered its routine daily operations, a month slipped away quietly, like the swift flight of a white horse.
In the peaceful times, everything becomes inconspicuous.
The restaurant's staff remains Fu Ya, Ying Shuang, and Ji Yunruo. After a month of training, both Ying Shuang and Ji Yunruo have become very skilled in their work.
Ying Shuang, the rich young lady, has shown a side completely different from her pampered upbringing. Not only does she handle takeout orders well, but in her free time, she even helps Fu Ya with serving dishes.
As a delivery person, Ji Yunruo has become familiar with many residents of Shrek City during his daily travels through the streets and alleys.
When passing by, they greet each other, and he has become noticeably more confident than when he first arrived at the Small Shop.
The Sect Master of Tang Sect has stayed in the Shrek City branch for the entire month, becoming a regular customer at Small Shop. After the first appearance, he no longer wore the distinctive golden robe that revealed his identity at a glance. Instead, he appeared in elegant casual clothes and even casually chatted with Fu Ya from time to time, showing no trace of the demeanor of a Limit Douluo.
Opposite him, there would often be an old man who seemed ordinary, like an old farmer. The old man's face was marked by the passage of time, but he looked extraordinary. Nobody knew his identity, but it was clear he and Tang Qianqiu were almost of the same generation.
Dealing with a Limit Douluo on equal terms, such a presence is probably not an ordinary person.
Yue Lengxin has also become a regular customer at Small Shop. Sometimes she accompanies an old woman to eat, and when the old woman is not there, she packs a meal to take away. She particularly loves Crystal Sugar Hawthorns and almost always orders xiaolongbao with every meal.
Every time Yue Lengxin comes to Small Shop, Qi Han would personally deliver the dishes she ordered, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
When Fu Ya gives him strange looks, he would hurriedly use excuses like being "too busy." However, as clever as Fu Ya is, she has already noticed the clues, but she doesn't reveal it.
Since the first visit to the Small Shop, the old woman's attitude towards Qi Han has been somewhat strange. Every time she comes, her gaze towards Qi Han carries a hint of scrutiny.
As if watching a big bad wolf trying to deceive her little white rabbit.
In the vast Shrek City, with a population of over eight million residents, every day unfolds different stories.
The Small Shop occupies only a tiny spot in Shrek City but has gradually become the intersection of many stories in this city.
As the system predicted, the Small Shop's popularity finally reached the requirements of Main Quest 5 one afternoon after a month.

A series of system prompts sounded, but Qi Han's carving knife did not tremble in his hand. With the final stroke, Qi Han's voice became more relaxed and carefree.
"The Main Quest is completed? That's nice."
In front of him, a young pine tree with a trunk as thick as a small arm had just taken shape, proud and unyielding, impervious to all evil.
